From my saddle, I looked out at the crashing waves off the rocky shore of the Mediterranean Sea and marvelled that this perspective -- this "unknown view of Minorca" I'd been promised -- was precisely that.

Some of the most interesting places on the planet include a hitch.I love Rio de Janeiro for the shores, Mexico City for the art scene and Medellin, Colombia, for the fun people.
